Six-ingredient, no-cook ice cream anyone can make in the afternoon and enjoy for dinner that night. The flavors of buckwheat honey and sea salt combine with the texture of fig compote. Pure heaven! —Nancy's Cravings

Test Kitchen Notes

Now that Spring has sprung down here in Raleigh my thoughts are turning to hot days and ice cream, though it is hard to find the time to get to the local ice cream shop. I am craving a creamy ice cream with deep vanilla flavor and this No Cook Fig, Buckwheat Honey and Sea Salt Ice Cream hits the spot. Want to know the great thing about this recipe? NO ICE CREAM MAKER NEEDED and it is not even missed because it comes out creamy and airy. The surprising ingredient is the buckwheat honey with its reminiscence of molasses and a hint of citrus to help round out the sweet vanilla flavor. Try sprinkling on extra sea salt just before eating to give that salt kick and crunch. Yum! Move over ice cream shop, turns out, I just need a freezer. —Ann Zaleta

Is this meant to read "14 ounces" sweetened condensed milk, or are the ingredients correct as listed? The number seems a bit high to me...thanks!

No worries, Nancy, and thanks for the quick response. The ice cream is currently setting up in my freezer and it is beautiful... though I can't help but sneak bites of it while it freezes!
